Advances in Intelligent R - ICCMIT



Call for Papers for ICCMIT 2018:Special Session on: “Advances in Intelligent Robotics”Organized by:Dr Alauddin Al-OmaryAssociate Professor, Department of Computer Engineering, College of IT, University of Bahrain, Kingdom of BahrainEmail: aalomary@uob.edu.bh and Dr. Wael Elmedany, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Engineering, College of IT, University of Bahrain, Kingdom of BahrainEmail: welmedanyy@uob.edu.bh Objectives and MotivationIn recent years significant advances have been made in creating bio-inspired machines. Scientists and engineers use human and animal characteristics to achieve these goals, as even the most advanced robots are much inferior to their biological counterparts. Many challenges facing robotics researchers is developing such autonomous bio inspired robot. This kind of robot should rely on complex sensors to gather the necessary information about the environment it navigates and should also use intelligent algorithms that enable the robot to take the necessary actions when needed. The robot consists mainly of many parts: the sensors, the controller, effectors and actuators. Sensors are used to provide the robot with necessary information about the environment in which the robot is navigating and discovering. Commonly used sensors includes ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, touch sensor, sonic sensor, laser sensor, photoelectric light sensors, magnetic sensor and recently chemical sensor. Each one of these sensor measure different environmental phenomena and provide the robot with different information. Sensors that mimic the animal world (particularly the human senses) are finding their use in robotics like sensors for taste and smell (chemical sensors). Other part of robot is the controller which receive signals from sensors, analyze these signals and take the appropriate action. The controller can be based on deliberative or reactive model. The deliberative model is representation dependent, need complex sensors, uses high level intelligence and therefore has slower response and variable latency. To improve the latency, robots should be equipped with powerful computing device. Programmable system on Chip(SoC) is becoming a good choice and attracted researchers due to thier increased computation power and capablity to implement intellgent robot controller.This special session is honored to invite prominent robot experts to share the recent technological advancement in the field of robotics. These special sessions will focus on novel and creative approaches in designing or developing robots for automation, medical or surgical tasks, space exploratory mission, assistive robotics for elderly and handicap people, evolutionary robotics and recent advances in sensing and perception systems (SPSs).Scope and InterestsThis special session will solicit original, high-quality articles, review articles, and novel solutions contributions from researchers and scientists focusing on intelligent robots, intelligent sensors and SoC based robot controller.
